Pavlov's Dog

Ongoing | ji chuan | 2019 released

Even in one of the latest chapters the ML is STILL a jackass with no likable personality. I'm dropping this. Yet another chinese work with the same flaws. That's disappointing. I'm not a fan of the writing tbh. 7 chapters in and there were multiple moments in which the author switched scenes and forgot to give crucial information of what happened inbetween, which made the scenes weird, incohesive or it felt like pages were missing. It's not time skip scenes per se either, in chapter 6/7 for example the boss suddenly pops up and the interaction suggest he interacted/was seen by the MC before....which didn't happen. It might seem minimal but when reading it throws you off and out of the immersion. Not to mention it makes you double check to see if you missed a page or even a chapter (if you took a small break from reading). The story itself is very interesting, the translation good and the characters nice, but the writing feels more on the amateur side given this simple mistake in writing. as for the flaw in writing, to simplify it: an author making the mistake of NOT portraying something that THEY know happened, but the reader does not. It might seem minimal or unimportant if you're not used to advanced writing, but for experienced readers this'll likely be a bothersome flaw. I hope it doesn't keep being this way, since I really find the story nice.
